The Other Child

Line Nyborg

Single mother Agnes prays to God for a man and chooses to move in with a single father at her son's preschool who winks at her and owns a white house in the countryside in Vestfold. Why do so many women make bad choices? What do you need in order to trust yourself and make conscious choices? And are you allowed to set limits for a child you don't love? A very engaging and relevant novel. Strong novel about responsibility and self-knowledge in a distraught stepmother.Line Nyborg has written a strong novel about feeling inadequate in the every day life. The Other Child is a good novel that must have been painful to write, because Line Nyborg is consequent and non-compromising. She does not steer around the hard topics. The book is also full of characters that she through just a couple of sentences put to life. It is well done, and shows an unusual talent. DAG OG TID

It´s a Rat!

Maia Kjeldset Siverts

There are feelings in all cultures.Feelings can have different colour, smell and taste.Feelings are mixed and then stiffen.In the end you have a carrot cake. Maia Kjeldset Siverts (1990-) has made a debut with a wild collection of short prose about amongst other things confused communication, masturbation, narcissism and people that turn into animals. To mention but a few of the topics. "It´s a Rat! is a by all means a damned little pearl of a debut."STAVANGER AFTENBLAD "The texts demonstrate a wild creativity. Mari Kjeldset Siverts combines whims in abundance with the ability to write both unexpected, concise and humoristic."DAG OF TID "(...) it is more or less impossible to say what the next sentence will be. (...) When it is funny, it is really funny, and when it is enerving it is really enerving. Different readers will probably have different levels of tolerance levels. (...) This is a book that will appeal to those who are not easily appealed. It might be recommended not to read all the 38 texts in one great gulp, but rather spread the reading out over a couple of days, like a bag of candy. It´s a Rat! is a book that works perfectly in it´s own premises. LITTKRITIKK.NO "Siverts writes with equal parts fun and seriousness, and her texts undoubtedly has a reckless bounce to it."KLASSEKAMPEN

There are limits to what I can not understand

Beate Grimsrud

Throughout the writing of Beate Grimsrud, from her debut in 1990 to the novel Children of Eternity (Evighetsbarna), we find many original and thought provoking quotes and sentences mirroring the author´s way of being in the world. Some of them reflecting, others challenging for the mind and others again are funny. This selection is characterized by her very distinct wisdom of life, like for example: "She is beautiful, about as beautiful as me. But on her is shows much better." "Silence sounds the same in all languages." "I fold my hands and pray: Please God, don´t let me become religious."

The Ocean is already here

Casper André Lugg

No one captures the greatness in the moment like Casper André Lugg. In his new collection he exceeds himself once more. A bird stopping in its flight over the moor, the thought of the flame burning over the apostles heads - the poems fold themselves out in the tension between open experiences in the world here and now, and the little faith that can become so tremendous for the reader.

You Decide That This Is A Memory

Marianne Teie

Marianne Teie debuts with a poetic depth dive into part of Norway's history. Martinus Mathisen lives in Lillehammer a hundred years ago, and the poems in this collection depict his life. This is a life characterized by deprivation, grief and loss – but also by solidarity and closeness. Much of what Martinus struggles with, is foreign to us. A hundred years ago, Norwegians had to face the death of children, tuberculosis, and a longing for America, the land where everything could be better. Marianne Teie takes us into this foreign world, while at the same time, her poems also point out the similarities between all humans, regardless of time and space.
